‘Wynwood City’

Affordable housing, technology, art, music and theater dance all bring to life jobs and endless possibilities in Wynwood and beyond. Scrap the for-profit beauty school and underwrite authentic less-predatory programs that will include opportunities to the residents of Allapattah and Overtown.

Re Fabiola Santiago’s Dec. 14 column, “The ethics of Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez and his lobbyist sons stink,” about my sons and my ethics: First, my son Carlos J. (C.J.) does not lobby Miami-Dade County government. He is a lawyer who was working in the government legal affairs field before I was elected mayor in 2011.
